Chord/Tab song: No Forgotten Man

No Forgotten Man
Solas
(CAPO ON 3RD FRET)

From the[G] woods of California to the banks of Ohio

I've always w[C]orked each day God sent as best I'm [G]able

While both[G] me and the crops they failed, those damn wolves came to my door

I just c[C]ouldn't put no food upon the t[G]able

[D]Time to step up, boy, and be a m[C]an.

So they s[G]tuck you 'neath a helmet and put a shovel in your hand

Sayin' it's t[C]ime to step up, boy, your family [G]needs ya'

And th[G]ough we struggled hard to save, they say our money turned no good

And that [C]there's not gonna' be enough to f[G]eed ya'

[D]And they say it never happened [C]'cause they can.

So they r[C]ob us of our livin', kick us d[G]own with shiny shoes

God k[C]nows we've paid for our dr[G]eamin'

And no[C]w they're trying to tell us that they'll o[G]wn us 'till the [Em]end

So[D]meone better pray that luck means ju[C]stice

'Cause I'll be no forg[G]otten man.[G////][G////][G////]

So they s[G]tuck me 'neath a helmet, put a gun into my hand

Saying [C]time to step up, boy, your country n[G]eeds ya'.

They [G]rounded us like slaughter, they shipped us all to hell

Sayin' [C]what doesn't kill you boy is gonna' f[G]ree ya'.

Pr[D]etend it didn't happen if you c[C]an[////].[C////][C////]

But I [C]did my share of killin' and I [G]took my share of war

Go[C]d knows I bled for my l[G]eader

And [C]now you're trying to tell me my [G]enemy's my f[Em]riend

They'll[D] only pray as long as there is fr[C]eedom

But I'll be no for[G]gotten man.

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

These [G]days I wheel the city, where the streets don't know my name

They'll s[C]ay time to move on boy 'cause no one ne[G]eds you.

In the sh[G]ot glass there's no mercy, in your bottle only blame

Though you s[C]hout the deeds you done no one belie[G]ves ya'

Co[D]me, man, spare a nickel if you c[C////]an[C////]


Cause a[C]ll I've got's a story, no k[G]in to call my own

No phot[C]ographs to pin upon a fe[G]elin'

But w[C]hat you're trying to tell me makes the tr[G]uth too hard to [Em]bend

And ma[D]ybe there's just too much made of fr[C]eedom

Then I'll be no for[G]gotten man.

'Cause [D]one man's chains become another's fre[C]edom

So I'll be no forgo[G]tten man.

'Cause [D]one man's chains becomes another's fr[C]eedom

So you'll be no for[G]gotten man.[G////][G////][G////]
